It happens almost to all young people, one of the commonest reason is often the time when our body start to change. That is what teenager have, they grow but also their body produces different hormones and that on one hand help us to grow up on other hand the hormones make our skin produce more fat that usually causes fatty skin and blocks pore, which then can get infected and cause such inflamed spots usually on face, shoulder, back and sometimes across the upper chest.
There are few different types of acne. Let’s start with me what I have had:
whiteheads, that are very common and caused by clogged hair follicle that usually remains u nder the skin and looks like white bump
blackheads, that are the same situation with clogged hair follicle but they open on the surface and due to contact of sebum with air it turns the colour of it into blackheads
papules are inflamed spots, look pink that usually tender on touch
pimples have inflamed pus containing surface but red on basis
nodules are large red, tender lesions that usually sitting deep in the skin
cystic acne, deep sitting and pus containing painful lumps
Often some simple things can help:
reduce sweets and biscuits
reduce crisps and greasy stuff like snacks
sometimes better to reduce milk products
ketchups and also meat
Also important not to touch your skin with dirty hands and regular wash your skin. If you feel that your skin is inflamed then you need to seek an advice of a doctor.
